My Baby – Julia Stone:

Love you tenderly, Love you sweetly.
That’s what I’ll do, that’s what I’ll do.
Love you when you need me,
Love you when you leave me in the blue.

Clouds will cover your eyes, you’ll tell me lies
But I wont leave you.
Clouds will cover my eyes, ill try to hide,
But I wont leave you.

Cause you’ll always be my baby,
My baby.
You’ll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.

Love you when you hate me,
Love you when you made me feel alone, in the daytime.
Love you when you leave me,
Love you when you need me.
You leave me behind.

Clouds will cover your eyes, you’ll tell me lies,
But I wont leave you
Clouds will cover my eyes, ill try to hide
But I wont leave you

Cause you’ll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.
You’ll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.

You’ll always be my baby,
You’ll always be my baby.
You’ll always be my baby,
My baby, my baby.

    Song Meaning

    It's about a boy who doesn't treat her good. He leaves her alone, makes her feel bad, and sometimes she trys to escape I think ("I try to hide") but in the end she always keeps coming back because she loves him, no matter what he does.

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
